upon the advancing mnions. In The rear
of His Majesty, preceded by the Plummer
Drum corps, of Minneapolis, came fifty
right arms OF Minneapolis law, in coonskin
coats and sealSkin caps, stopping ever and
anon TO wipe the beaded sweat from off
their manly brows. The Makwa Toboggan
club. of Minneapolis. came next. and then
the North Star Toboggan club headed by
its own drum corps, also of the Sawdust
City. In citizens garb. but proudly fiaunt-
ing gay carnival badges, walked the city
council, city officials and other prominent
citizens of Minneapolis. The blue-coated
Americas, st. Paul, followed the Kenewaw
Snow Shoe club; the Standard Skating
club; the Tippecanoes marched in the line

MINNEAPOLIS DAY.
Citizens of the Flour City Come by
Thousands and Tens of Thou
sands Headed by City Officials
and police.
Yesterday was the eliminating climax
OF the carnival season, and the day the
managers had designated Minneapolis day.
Minneapolis talked nothing but ice palace
yesterday; weather, tobogganng, corner
lots. quotations-al subjects were ban
ished and St Paul itself could not have
discussed her pet project more kindly and
enthusiastically than did the residents of the
Flour City. They not only talked, they
came. Early in the day it became neces-
sary to add extra coaches to the regular
Short line trains, and toward evening
''double-headers' pulling from twelve to
eighteen cars came over all lines, loaded
with MinneapOlitans eager for the fray by
which brave men under the leadership of
Mayor Ames were to capture the ice pal
ace. 1t Is useless to attempt an
estimate of the numbers of the
crowd, for besides the train
loads, thousands came in carriages, and
vehicles of every sort, and some of the
more enthusiastic and less fortunate even
walked. Twenty-Five thousand is a con-
sentative guess, and the number would
probably reach more than that. The Min
neapoliS people overflowed the grounds of
the palace early in the evening, and during
the bombardment nothing but superIative
praise was heard from them. Mayor Ames
and his party did not arrive until $50
His honor was accompanied by most of the
city officers and several aldermen. The
Flambeau club was at the station to act as
escort to the guests. The line was quickly
formed in the following order;

In this order the visitors joined the
parade at the city hall.
GOING HOME.
Thirty thousand people passed through
the union depot last night, between the
hours of 1920 and 1890, to take trains to
Minneapolis and elsewhere. After the
storming the rush was so great that the sta
ton agent and his assistants were unable to
control the crowds, and all the gates had to
be thrown open to permit the people to get
upon the platforms to save being crushed
to death. SiXty-four coaches were loaded
in less than twenty minutes, the people be-
ing packed into the cars like sardines in
box. Over nine hundred tickets were taken
up in one train alone between
st. Paul and Minneapolis. The last train
for the Flour City left the depot at 1:3O.
and it was crowded. Many of the visitors
who came from other towns than Mime
apois missed their trains, and, being
unable to secure lodgings at any of the
hotels or boarding houses. were compelled
to spend the night in the depot. In the
waiting rooms were people twisted up into
all manner of shapes upon the benches,
trying to sleep. In the ladies' waiting
! room many members of the gentler sex
were found. They looked exceedingly woe
BECOME and were evidently tired and dis
gusted.
